Edgy


I put it all behind me,
what my future could have held.
I'm flooded with the moments
worded thoughts inside me, swelled.
I'm bursting with the hurt that comes
along with emptiness.
Sometimes it catches up to me.
I, no longer can suppress.

I need no one to prompt me,
the enemy's at my hand.
It chokes me, though invisible
those marks upon me land.
I try each day a pill to take
erasing all it should.
But tears that capture you in mind
rain down "if only's" would.

A needle in a haystack,
has found me, what are the odds?
Unmasked or masquerading,
they're both dressed in same facades.
Who can tell what's in the heart
of those who won't believe,
those tales and revelations.
Just archaic lies in weave.

Those creams on hand to soothe me,
smooth the chapped that cloaks my skin.
You've rubbed me raw, emotion-wise.
I bleed from deep within.
I need no one to prompt my words
I'm marked, but no one sees.
They're blinded by their colors, rose
while I stay ill at ease.

Maureen - I can relate to this....yup. Take heart dear lady. Go out and pull those weeds, I find it soothing therapy. Chris
